Description

How does Forest Adventure work?

The Forest Adventure program is all about making Learning Fun & Unforgettable! There is an innate curiosity and spirit of adventure in everyone. This is particularly true for children and young people. The experience students take away with them is one of adventure, re-connection with nature, new skills and above all else, a feeling of well being and fulfilment. The programs involve an educational aspect to everything the students do on site in line with the principles of Leave no Trace. Activities, dining, and overnight stays can all be tailored over 1/2 day, full day and multi day programs.

The Forest Adventure can be a short 1/2 day program, a full day or a multi day program with a range of activity and dining options on offer. Choose a Bushcraft adventure, a Mindfulness & Wellness themed event, a Teambuilding activity or mix and match to create a great day for the students.

Survival Skills: The Natural Living Skills program is all about students learning fundamental outdoor skills & feeling confident when out in nature
